The Mentalist: Say Something (Chapter 1)
By Alasse Fefalas
"Where are you off to so early on a Friday, Lisbon? Got a date?" Jane asked cheekily as he laid on his couch, watching the brunette.
Lisbon looked up from packing her table for the week. "As a matter of fact, yes."
"What? Really? A date? Who?" Jane asked, sitting up.
"Yes, really. A date. Special Agent Pike. He asked me out to dinner today," Lisbon smiled.
"Pike, huh. From that art theft case yesterday, right?"
"Yup!"
"Oh. Well, have fun," Jane said with a slight hitch in his voice.
Lisbon paused, her hand still in her bag from stuffing files in. Jane's face was solemn - his thinking face. Taking her hand out of her bag, she checked if she had gotten everything before closing her bag and locking the clasp. Slinging it on her shoulder, she walked over to the consultant and sat down on the couch beside him.
"Hey, you okay?" Lisbon asked as she nudged him slightly on the shoulder.
"Me?" Jane asked, turning towards her. His lips tugged upwards into a smile. "I'm right as rain."
"You sure?" Lisbon asked skeptically, raising an eyebrow.
"I'm fine," Jane said softly, assuring her. "Now go, before you're late for your date."
Lisbon took a long look at him before sighing and standing up. "Take care. I'll see you on Monday."
"Have fun!" Jane waved.
Lisbon gave him a slight wave before walking away. When she reached the office door, she turned around one last time to look at the man who was staring out the window. A soft sigh escaped her lips as she walked out.
Say something, I'm giving up on you.
I'll be the one, if you want me to.
Anywhere I would've followed you.
Say something, I'm giving up on you.
A/N: Hi! Sorry I disappeared for a while. Been kinda stuck in real life. It's sucky but I have to do it. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this. I swear, I can't listen to this song without thinking of them. This will be a short three-parter. Look out for the next two, coming soon! Thanks for reading!
